Rootstone's Market Round Up
╰ On Oct 30, over $217M in long positions were liquidated in 24 hours, led by $BTC and $ETH drops, exacerbating a 13% BTC correction from its $126K October high and drying up liquidity across #DeFi protocols.
╰ Bitcoin closed the month of October down ~8.5%, breaking a six-year “Uptober” winning streak, as broader crypto sentiment cooled and risk aversion returned.
╰ A Nov 1 interim trade truce between the U.S. and China aimed to ease tensions, but BTC failed to rally above $110K as Fed Chair Powell hinted at pausing December cuts, shifting focus to upcoming jobs data.
╰ Amid the chaos, privacy-focused tokens like $Monero and $Zcash soared 15-25% on Oct 29-31, driven by heightened demand for anonymous transactions amid regulatory scrutiny and tariff-related capital flight.
